Jeremiah Fears picks Illinois. Cal must feel really good about Darius Acuff.

Fears personally told me that if UK offered, he was going to Kentucky.

Cal went out to see him last Fall, but an offer never came.

This makes me believe that the UK staff feels very good about Jasper Johnson and Darius Acuff. I could see us landing Johnson as a reclass, with Acuff staying 2025 and joining Dybansta, Wilson, and Thomas in that class for UK.

European League will become the new Prep School?

Just my opinion but would like to hear your thoughts! The style, play, and development of European players is taking over the landscape of basketball in my opinion. I can see in the next 3-5 years players leaving early to play overseas, get better training, make a little $$, then come back for college or the draft. The NBA has done a great job making this sport worldwide!! I can see this model taking shape sooner than later.

FB Recruiting Could 4-star Ohio WR join former teammate in Lexington?

Quintin Simmons is a top-10 player in Ohio and he's visited UK multiple times, just putting out a top 6 which includes Kentucky.

Younger former teammate of UK signee Terhyon Nichols...

Do you guys not realize how good Big Z really is?

This guy played Euro ball. The game looks slow to him. The only two real mistakes he made Sat night were deliberate - the pullup on the rim and the elbow to the face.

He honestly looks as though college ball is kind of a joke. I know he needs to get in a little better conditioning. But trust me - he's going to play 15-20 minutes by March and frankly by then I think he should be starting. Did I say that with my outside voice?

All you need to do is re-watch the moment when he did the spin move and missed the dunk to realize what his game is all about. He can do everything. Opposing teams do NOT want Big Z on the block or anywhere near the paint, or behind the three point line, or at the top of the key, or guarding the inbounds...you get the idea.

AAU Ball Vs. Eastern European Semi-Pro Ball

Big Z is prepared in ways that AAU basketball could never hope to prepare these young bucks in the states.

He has been honing his skills and playing against men for years and years now. AAU is glorified pick up games.

He is going to have an immediate and lasting impact. There’s a reason he just made a debut the likes of which we’ve never seen…

CAUSE THIS AIN’T SH*T to that dude.
